Wacuenporria paniculata.

(G.) flore pallidé luteo. - 
The plant, from which our sketch was taken, flowered 
at Spofforth, in July, having been sent from the Cape of 
Good Hope, under the name of Wacuenvorria brevifolia. 
It accords, however, with paniculata in having smooth 
foliage, a downy flower-stem, and the laterals hed 
to the upper petal, differing from our plant No. 616, in the 
paler colour of the leaves and corolla. The two varieties 
of paniculata, and W. brevifolia supra p. 1166, flower v 
freely planted in peat; a narrow-leavyed variety of W. 
hirsuta, which we received some yearsagofrom W.Grirrin, — 
Esq. also flowers constantly, but we have had the old va- 
riety of W. hirsuta as well as W. graminea (of which last — 
the leaves are thick, hard, and not plicate, and the root not 
bulbous) fifteen years without obtaining a flower from 
either. W. thyrsiflora, of which the root is not bulbous, 
flowers rarely with us. In all the species the fibres” 
orange-coloured, on which account some pers: 
sons have 
lanted them in glass pots. We have another Wachendorfia 
om Algoa Bay, with hairy leaves, imported by Mr. Tare, 
of the Sloane Street Nursery, which has lately flowered at 
Spofforth, appearing to be a variety of brevifolia. W. H.
